So the NHL is persisting in its claim that 1993 game broadcasts, specifically between Toronto and Los Angeles, are copyright protected. I am taking it to a second appeal and risking a copyright strike. Intellectual Property Law is clear, after 20 years sports broadcasts enter public domain, as per the 1961 Rome Convention. At this stage the NHL is just saying "yeah, well, we write our own laws and we say it is copyright." Whether Youtube grants them this power or not we will see. But as this page is part of my charitable historical and professional work, I regard the NHL's claims to be a copyright abuse.
